New Zealand Posted 10/03/14 04:27 AM Share Posted 10/03/14 04:27 AM (edited) Is this correct, (450mls in 15 secs) because the I've got an after market braided line for my BA and it has a restrictor on the turbo end ( approx. 1mm hole ) and I checked the flow with the restrictor and it was about 150mls after 15 secs, and without the restrictor it was bang on 450mls. Do the Earl lines have a restrictor on them and has anyone checked the flow from it, Im a bit worried to use mine after reading this ^. I might put my old one back on and check the flow before taking the car for a drive with the new one, Cheers Edited 10/03/14 04:28 AM by xr6thsveta Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32461-turbo-oil-supply-screen-cleaning/page/37/#findComment-1459554 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 0.8mm, the turbo actually needs very little oil.

Saski Member 68 Member For: 16y 7m 28d Posted 11/04/14 10:35 AM Share Posted 11/04/14 10:35 AM Just a few weeks ago I did mine for the first time @ 241,000 kms before it went for its latest newest tune. It was reasonably clean and I could not visibly see any blockages with a light shone through it. It could have gone back in with a good clean but I bought a new factoey filter and fitted cos its good insurance.I think it comes down to good routine of oil/filter changes. I have had my car almost since new and I change the oil/filter every 6,000 kms without exceptions. My car has been tuned for about 6 years so farNo fancy oil just valvoline engine armour 15/40 Good service routine goes a long way 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32461-turbo-oil-supply-screen-cleaning/page/37/#findComment-1464960 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if they're a tuna but otherwise prob not.
